BMW Lease Negotiation

I like the GLK over the X3 too... but it was too small for us... even the ML seemed a bit small to me.

I was hoping some minivans would be updated this year... I can't seem to keep a car more than 5 years... sometimes less than 2.

are you leasing when you keep it less than 2 years? damn IHO, hopefully you arent losing money on your trade ins.

The less than 2 were broken leases... back when I was younger and had no idea what type of car to get... switched between a full size truck and a rice rocket and back to a pickup because of gas prices.

My parents still think I'm dumb for leasing... I just look at it like backward financing... if I like it after 3/4/5 years, I'll pay the rest off (only once have I done that though).

so my wife just bought the MB GLK350.  We were ready to go down to sign a lease on an X3 when she was convinced by her sister to test drive the GLK 350 since she had just bought one.  So we went to fletcher jones in NB and test drove it, she really liked it, the interior is much nicer looking than the X3, but i think the X3 looks better on the outside, not a fan of the boxy look on the GLK.  im a fan of sharing prices to make sure the next person hopefully gets a better deal, so for anyone looking at one of these, we were able to get 6K off the sticker on a 2013 (premier and multimedia packages, heated front seats and keyless GO). she says it accelerated better and handled better than the X3, i can understand the acceleration (300 vs 240HP) but was surprised to hear she thought the MB handled better than the BMW.  i drove the GLK and it does drive pretty nice, didnt drive the X3 so i couldnt compare them personally.

I would have opted for the X5 but at least she didn't end up picking a minivan.    I'll have to drop by and check out the new ride.  Is it white on black?

yeah the X5 was at the top of my list for her.  hey man, dont knock minivans, while i dont have one myself, i get the appeal.  it is white on black.
